Certification candidates may develop a PowerPoint or White Paper on an aspect of incentive marketing to earn points for the CPIM Assessment Tool. The candidate must submit his/her topic for the White Paper and/or PowerPoint to the Certification Evaluation Team for approval. If approved by the CPIM Evaluation Team, as many as two qualified CPIM candidates may work together to develop the White Paper or Presentation.

When the candidate proposes a topic for approval, the following information must be provided to the Evaluation Team:

Topic A list of approved CPIM topics is available from IMA or Candidates may also submit their own topic to the Evaluation Team for approval.
